The School of Design and Environment 4 (SDE4) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) is a pioneering net-zero energy building that showcases innovative sustainable design. Featuring 1,200 solar panels on its rooftop, SDE4 harnesses renewable energy to power its operations. The building's unique facade, optimized natural ventilation, and energy-efficient systems work in tandem to reduce energy consumption. With 8,000 square meters of collaborative learning spaces, including design studios, laboratories, and workspaces, SDE4 fosters interdisciplinary research and collaboration among students, faculty, and industry partners. As a living laboratory, SDE4 tests and implements sustainable design principles and technologies, solidifying its position as a leader in environmental sustainability.

The Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum received the Skyrise Greenery Award for the 'Community Facility' category and has also won the Excellence Award for the "Community Facility" category of the Skyrise Greenery Awards 2015. Given out by National Parks Board of Singapore, the Skyrise Greenery Awards acknowledge developments with greenery provision and ecologically friendly landscapes.

The museum's facade, designed to resemble a "moss-covered rock", showcases the biodiversity in Southeast Asia. A pocket houses more than 60 types of cultivated indigenous plants, including mangrove species. The planter boxes in the pocket simulate natural terrain so as to encourage local fauna, such as birds and butterflies, to inhabit the spaces, creating a natural biodiverse wall feature. This greening effort enhances the building's energy efficiency by acting as a heat screen to cut down the heat absorbed by the building, while drawing visitors to interact with the living garden.

Guided College Tour with RVRC Programme Sharing

Ridge View Residential College (RVRC) offers NUS undergraduate students a distinct two-year living and learning experience, aligned with our mission to foster sustainability education and workplace readiness. RVRC offers a diverse range of academic and co-academic opportunities, allowing students to explore sustainability issues in depth and engage in practical sustainability actions. Visit RVRC to learn how sustainability education is integrated into the residential college programme and take a tour of the College campus. Student ambassadors will showcase various student-led sustainability-related activities, such as student interest groups and tree-planting initiatives around the College.

Nyee Phoe is one of the few time-honoured family businesses in Singapore that has stayed true to its roots, while embracing the new worlds of today. Its traditional yet timeless belief in creating holistic experiences has transcended through the years, while staying ahead of its time by stream -lining itself for specialization and scalability.

Since being founded in 1911, Nyee Phoe has moved several times before settling on its current home -a 2.5 hectare piece of land along Neo Tiew Crescent. It continues to marry natural beauty with modern aesthetics to evoke a sense of inner peace and harmony. The presence of a personal touch ensures an experience that is at once exciting and reassuring. It is also the meticulous attention to detail that delivers the mark of quality to a diverse clientele.

With over 122,000 floating solar panels spanning 45 hectares, this 60MWp solar farm is a significant stride towards contributing to the nation’s solar energy deployment by 2025. Learn how PUB, Singapore's National Water Agency, leverages solar energy to produce each drop of clean tap water sustainably, making Singapore one of the few countries in the world to have a 100 per cent green waterworks system. During the site visit, participants will have the opportunity to take a close look of a living model of their solar panel; get an overview of their digital and technology capabilities in monitoring the solar panels; as well as learning how the solar farm was being built.

Built across the mouth of Marina Channel, Marina Barrage creates Singapore’s 15th reservoir, and the first in the heart of the city. It is the vision of the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew (the first Prime Minister of Singapore) more than three decades ago when he envisaged damming the mouth of the Marina Channel to create a freshwater reservoir. With a catchment area of 10,000 hectares, Marina catchment is the island’s largest and most urbanised catchment. Together with two other reservoirs, Marina Reservoir has increased Singapore’s water catchment from half to two-thirds of the country’s land area.

Housed at Marina Barrage is the Sustainable Singapore Gallery. Sustainability has always been integral to Singapore's development since independence, and we have been tackling challenges to ensure that everyone continues to enjoy a clean and green environment. In this tour, you will learn about climate change and its impacts on a small but densely populated Singapore, discover Singapore’s water story and the steps we took to make our water supply resilient, and explore the story of Singapore’s efforts towards being a Zero Waste Nation and how we manage the exorbitant amount of waste we generate.

The Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (SERIS) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) is Singapore's national institute for applied solar energy research and a global leader in solar research & development. SERIS contributes actively to Singapore’s and the region’s need for solar adoption & industry development, and supports the government’s pledge to reduce the nation’s carbon emissions. Conference participants are welcome to visit SERIS for a guided tour of its R&D labs in the areas of solar cells, PV modules and PV systems.

The Sustainable Tropical Data Centre Testbed (STDCT) is the first data centre testbed in the tropics, set up to enhance Singapore’s competitiveness in sustainable and efficient data centre solutions, for the region’s challenging high-temperature and humidity operations. During the tour, participants will learn how data centres operate, with a focus on innovative and sustainable solutions. They will see firsthand how computing jobs for NUS research simulations are handled in a 500kW IT load data centre setup designed to be “open, neutral, and live.” Participants will learn about the cooling strategies employed—air cooling, liquid cooling, or a blend of both—and how these approaches are studied for energy efficiency and reliability.

Overall, the tour is designed for visitors to gain practical insights into collaborative research efforts—supported by industry partners—that are pushing data centre technologies toward greater resilience and sustainability.
